'''AD 57''' ('''[[Roman numerals|LVII]]''') was a [[common year starting on Saturday]] of the [[Julian calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of Caesar and Piso''' (or, less frequently, '''year 810 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination AD 57 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the [[Anno Domini]] [[calendar era]] became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.
